The ticket will only be available for purchase from <strong>March 5-10<\/strong>, making many wonder: Is this \u201cFuzzy Fighter\u201d Special Research worth buying?<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The answer is complicated, since there\u2019s a lot we don\u2019t know about Kubfu and the future of Dynamax\/Gigantamax. You can get one Kubfu for free from the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/pokemon-go-guide\/533647\/might-and-mastery-special-research-kubfu\">Might and Mastery<\/a>\u201d research, though if you want a second one, you\u2019ll need to buy this research.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Below, we explain our thoughts behind the value of the \u201cFuzzy Fighter\u201d Special Research and we list out all the steps for the research.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">Is the \u2018Fuzzy Fighter\u2019 Special Research ticket worth it?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The short answer is: <strong>If you <em>really<\/em> want a second Kubfu, then yes, it could be worth it<\/strong>, but there are a lot of unknown variables in regards to Kubfu\u2019s future with Gigantamax.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Let\u2019s break it down, using prices from the <em>Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> webstore (as usual) to be as thrifty as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The pass costs $8 and there\u2019s no $8 coin bundle. Math-ing it out, $8 is roughly 1,100 coins, based on the $10 coin bundle. This pass gives the following rewards:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10 Pinap Berries<\/li>\n<li>4 Golden Razz Berries<\/li>\n<li>4 Silver Pinap Berries<\/li>\n<li>20 Pok\u00e9 Balls<\/li>\n<li>20 Great Balls<\/li>\n<li>20 Ultra Balls<\/li>\n<li>1 Incense<\/li>\n<li>1 Star Piece<\/li>\n<li>5 Hyper Potions<\/li>\n<li>5 Revives<\/li>\n<li>2 Premium Battle Passes<\/li>\n<li>5 Rare Candies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Buying the pass from the webstore also gives you an additional three Rare Candies and three Max Revives. You can only buy a few things from the above list from the in-game shop, and those items total up to <strong>440 Pok\u00e9Coins<\/strong>. That said, of course, you can\u2019t buy things like Ultra Balls, Rare Candy, and the special berries, so while they don\u2019t have an exact Pok\u00e9Coin value, so you\u2019ll need to use your own discretion to value those items based on your own needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As part of the pass, you\u2019ll also get <strong>encounters <\/strong>with Stufful, Teddiursa, Tyrogue, Cubchoo, Pancham, and of course, a <strong>second Dynamax Kubfu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If you just want a second Kubfu for your collection, that\u2019s a good enough reason to grab this pass. However, if you\u2019re big into Max Battles, then it\u2019s a little more complicated than that \u2014 and in fact might not be worth it after all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The thing about this Kubfu that has me narrowing my eyes is that I don\u2019t really know what the future holds for it yet. <em>The Isle of Armor <\/em>DLC for <em>Pok\u00e9mon Sword <\/em>and <em>Shield<\/em> revolves its story around Kubfu. You get one, you train it into an Urshifu \u2014 and then you give it a special soup that allows it to Gigantamax.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If you like Max Battles a lot, you will prefer a Gigantamax Urshifu, not one that Dynamaxes. Dynamax Urshifu will very likely be heavily outclassed in stats by Gigantamax Machamp (which should be showing up soon, since it was shown in the season trailer) and you may not want to sink all that hard-to-get candy and Stardust into a critter that will be outclassed by another version of itself down the line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>If this second Dynamax Kubfu can be turned into a Gigantamax Urshifu down the line <em>and <\/em>it remains the only way to get a second Urshifu, then yes, the pass is very much worth it<\/strong>, but we don\u2019t know if that\u2019ll ever be a thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That said, we don\u2019t know how Niantic is rolling out Gigantamax Urshifu. Will our Dynamax Kubfu drink the magic soup, just like in the mainline game? Will Gigantamax Urshifu be locked behind a raid day event? It\u2019s really hard to predict. For all we know, we may not see Gigantamax Urshifu for a <em>long<\/em> time, as it\u2019s not even in the game\u2019s files yet.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">\u2018Fuzzy Fighter\u2019 Special Research steps and rewards<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Below, we list the full steps and rewards for the \u201cFuzzy Fighter\u201d Special Research.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">\u2018Fuzzy Fighter\u2019 step 1 of 5<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Catch 30 Pok\u00e9mon (2 Golden Razz Berries)<\/li>\n<li>Collect 500 Max Particles (Stufful encounter)<\/li>\n<li>Spin 10 Pok\u00e9Stops or gyms (20 Pok\u00e9 Balls)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Rewards<\/strong>: 1 Incense, 10 Pinap Berries, 1,000 Stardust<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">\u2018Fuzzy Fighter\u2019 step 2 of 5<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Explore 5 km (20 Great Balls)<\/li>\n<li>Spin 20 Pok\u00e9Stops or gyms (Teddiursa encounter)<\/li>\n<li>Power up fighting-type Pok\u00e9mon 10 times (2 Silver Pinap Berries)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Rewards<\/strong>: 1 Premium Battle Pass, 5 Revives, 1,000 XP<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">\u2018Fuzzy Fighter\u2019 step 3 of 5<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use 10 berries to help catch Pok\u00e9mon (20 Ultra Balls)<\/li>\n<li>Win 3 raids (Tyrogue encounter)<\/li>\n<li>Power up water-type Pok\u00e9mon 10 times (10 Kubfu Candy)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Rewards<\/strong>: 1 Star Piece, 5 Hyper Potions, 1,000 Stardust<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">\u2018Fuzzy Fighter\u2019 step 4 of 5<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Catch 15 different species of Pok\u00e9mon (2 Golden Razz Berries)<\/li>\n<li>Defeat 5 Team Go Rocket members (Cubchoo encounter)<\/li>\n<li>Power up dark-type Pok\u00e9mon 10 times (10 Kubfu Candy)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Rewards<\/strong>: 1 Premium Battle Pass, 5 Rare Candies, 1,000 XP<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\">\u2018Fuzzy Fighter\u2019 step 5 of 5<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Earn 5 candies exploring with your buddy (2 Silver Pinap Berries)<\/li>\n<li>Make 2 excellent throws (Pancham encounter)<\/li>\n<li>Level up a Max Move (10 Kubfu Candy)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Rewards<\/strong>: Dynamax Kubfu encounter, 3 Kubfu Candy XL, 1,000 Stardust<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/pokemon-go-guide\/534404\/fuzzy-fighter-special-research-steps-worth-it-kubfu\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pok\u00e9mon Go players can buy a \u201cFuzzy Fighter\u201d paid Special Research ticket for $8 as part of the \u201cPowerful Potential\u201d event.
